Life with Robots

Imagine waking up in the morning and a robot has already prepared your breakfast. Sounds like science fiction? In 2026, this is becoming more real than ever. According to a report from the International Federation of Robotics, global sales of home service robots surpassed 30 million units — three times more than five years ago.

What can home robots do? Some can clean your house, like robot vacuum cleaners. Others can cook simple meals, water plants, or even look after pets. There are also companion robots that can talk to you, play music, and help you learn.

But will robots replace humans in the future? Most experts believe that robots will not take over the world. Instead, they will work alongside humans to make our lives easier. They will do the boring or dangerous jobs so that we can focus on what we do best — creating, thinking, and caring for each other.

As one scientist said, “Robots are tools, not masters.” The future is not about robots controlling us, but about us using them to build a better world.

1. What did the 2026 report show about home service robots?

                                                               

2. What can home robots do?

                                                               

3. What do most experts believe about robots and humans?

                                                               

4. What will robots do for us according to the passage?

                                                               

5. What did the scientist mean by saying “Robots are tools, not masters”?

The Future of Technology

What will technology be like in ten years? It’s hard to imagine, but one thing is certain — it will change our lives in ways we can‘t even predict. In 2026, the first bendable-screen smartphones went into mass production. These phones can be folded and bent, making them much easier to carry.

Technology has come a long way. Ten years ago, most people used phones with buttons. Today, smartphones are an essential part of our lives. We use them to learn, work, shop, and connect with friends. But what about the future?

Experts say we will see more amazing inventions. Smart glasses may replace phones. AI doctors may help us stay healthy. Flying cars may appear in the sky. Self-driving cars are already on the roads in some cities. The speed of change is faster than ever before.

“The best way to predict the future is to create it,” said a tech expert. We may not know exactly what tomorrow will bring, but we can prepare ourselves for a world full of new possibilities.

1. What new technology went into mass production in 2026?
